HB1212 BILL and the latest

[Guest guest]

I also emailed Rep a Pierson last night and got a reply this morning

from the Chief of Staff that was very similar to the other person on the

list that posted this morning. I emailed the Chief of Staff thanking her for

the promptness of the response and offered to assist in any way to help get

this bill passed.

Neither, it changes the penalties for intoxication assault and intoxication

manslaughter in the event that a drunk driver hits a firefighter, peace

officer, OR (drumroll please) an EMS provider.

BILL and the latest

I just spoke with the office of Rep. Pierson and this is the reply that was

sent to me about the bill. It seams that EMS of ALL types are included.

Below it the email I was sent.

Mr. Verrett,

Thank you for your email. Rep. Pierson did add Emergency Medical Services

personnel to the bill during committee. Although that was included in the

information we provided about the bill, the press failed to include that in

their stories regarding the hearing and the passage of the bill in

committee.

Rep. Pierson has a regard for emergency medical service personnel, which is

why we changed the bill to include EMS providers.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me by calling

.

Best,

Amps

Chief of Staff

Rep. a Pierson
